commit 690e4059d73e6226b29a0de35cccdb6fbbfca65d

gxditview(1): Recast for clarity and grammar.
* Reorder discussion of what sorts of intermediate output can be viewed
for clarity.
* Use better demonstrative pronoun.
* Append suffix to man page in example to make it (perhaps) clearer that
a real file name is meant, not a search keyword like man(1)
technically accepts.
* Drop spurious word in "as be".
* Clarify distinction between menu item labels and actions.
* Use indefinite article to introduce a new action not bound to a menu
item.
